title:
Cyrus II of Edessa
text:
Cyrus II was the archbishop of Edessa and metropolitan of Osrhoene from 471 until his death. Cyrus succeeded Nonnus as bishop in 471. He was opposed to the Antiochene theology of the school of the Persians in Edessa and he successfully appealed to the Emperor Zeno to have it shut down. Its leading scholars, including Narsai, went into exile in Persia and founded the school of Nisibis. The date of this event is disputed. It took place either before 486 or, as per the Chronicle of Edessa, in 489.
